Veggie Report #whatever : Mango Over Milk

Living my life as an ovo-vegetarian, oops, did I say something unfamiliar?

Ovo? No more lacto?

Yes, I decided to quit dairy intake. I used to be a hardcore cheese fan. And I spent my childhood consuming milk everyday and cheese mixed with bread and...ice cream! Plus, I loved anything cordon bleu (with cheese inside). I couldn't resist the gooey mozarella on pizza's top, or other meals with it.

It's super delicious. Salty, yummy texture, said as healthy and full of calcium...and caused an allergy to me. Plus acnes. Yeah, after a while, I finally realized why I never get rid of random pimples on my face, and never-ending sneeze in the morning, plus the body odour and unstable poop-schedule. Oh, and my throat's health were disturbed, too. It causes phlegm on me. The last time I drank a bottle of yogurt, my phlegm was directly formed! Ewww.

But the most important part of my decision is: dairy is naturally formulated for baby cows. Or baby goat/horse. People reformulates it and advertised it as a healthy, arbitrary nutrition, instead of saying the truth that it might disturb your hormon's development and it's so selfish to take another momma's milk! Even worse about cheese, it may contains a part of veal's stomach: rennet. Just Google about it. It's creepy. Here's a short summary I took from Wikipedia: Calf rennet is extracted from the inner mucosa of the fourth stomach chamber (the abomasum) of young, unweaned calves as part of livestock butchering. These stomachs are a byproduct of veal production. If rennet is extracted from older calves (grass-fed or grain-fed), the rennet contains less or no chymosin, but a high level of pepsin and can only be used for special types of milk and cheeses. As each ruminant produces a special kind of rennet to digest the milk of its own species, milk-specific rennets are available, such as kid goat rennet for goat's milk and lamb rennet for sheep's milk.So, literally, your famous macaroni and cheese may contains cruelty. Straight cruelty. Bloody scene. They force a cow mama to give away her milk, while her baby's stomach is sliced. It's not humane, it's not friendly. But it's organic. Now you realized that 'organic' isn't always kindhearted, right? :p Anyway, I'm not only avoiding dairy now. There is something important too that I find quite...urgent. Living in a big city, modern times, it's harder to choose your on-the-go snacks! I have too many concerns: packaging, ingredients, ethicality, veganism, palm-oil issue. Label me as a complex old-soul youth. WHATEVER. I want to grow old healthy! Here's a short sketch of my fear about our so-called 'trendy' food: Bubble tea with various flavours; cereal with milk; donuts! I've written the points I care about, and added a doodle. :DA cup of bubble tea is just a representative of any other sweet drinks out there: expensive coffee, irrational ice blend, or a simple cup of overpriced tea with ice cubes and chia seeds. Donut: it talks a lot. Your filled breads, your taart, your cake. It might be colourful, yummy, fulfilling...and fatful. Please separate 'fatful' and 'faithful', ok? Yes it makes you faithful, it's so delicious. But it's fatful. Not a good fat, too. And high amount of sugar and cream. Cheesecake: may contains rennet. Cruelty. Duh. Cereals: always advertised to be consumed with cow's milk. Which is cruelty and conspiracy. Plus the cereals itself contains a loooot of sugar, may be natural or artificial sweetener, corn syrup. And wheat, a lot of it. Or...GMO corn? And to be more...scary, the red colour of your colourful crisps may be derived from crushed bugs...carmine. I've talked about carmine in cosmetic sessions in the past. Now it's in the food. :) There are more snacks that I would like to mention, but it would be too long. You've already known what kind of food they are, haven't you? To read my drawn notes, please click the picture. :) Remember: do not copy & use without permission!

Conclusion: 1. If I'm craving for creamy texture, I'm going to choose avocado. Or banana. Mix it with coconut milk if I need salty taste. Light, salty taste. Cheese? Try to make cashew / tofu cheese. Or just, let it go. Move on. Once you let something go, something better will come soon. 2. Yogurt? Try to make it yourself, without cow's milk. Use an alternative. Google it. I can't remember the ingredients and direction. 3. Mango, apple, bengkuang, papaya, pear, sprinkle of powdered aren sugar: my kind of 'cereal bowl'. Crispy texture, fulfilled tummy. Ahoy! If it's too dry, add soy / almond milk. Coconut milk might help, but it's quite thicker. Oh, do not forget a mungbean / black rice porridge! Ah. 4. Cake / bread : find a nearest traditional market, buy klepon and traditional cookies like ketan bubuk, nagasari, kue putu...whatever your locals offer! Steam a raw cassava or sweet potatoes if you can. :) 5. Feeling anxious to not being trendy or being under pressure inside your friend's circle: go find another sincere friends! Seriously. True friends won't force you to eat something you don't want to. They may make silly jokes about it, or accuse you with logic, but it's never serious. They'll let you be you, in any era. Even if you wear a Victorian costume mixed with ancient Egypt earings. 6. Maybe you're confused about what I'm trying to say. Do I suggest you all to be vegan? Do I love that guy? Do I have a pet llama? Do you like sabrina top? This post is seriously...serious. I write it randomly, since I can only do it randomly, according to my brain's system. 7. Enjoy! And sort your food right away. Don't forget to dance and move your body. Get healthy! Be wealthy with your stamina!
